Why bother with bad apis and hacky deployments? I'd venture to say the answer to OP's question is a simple "no".

  Because I don't have utter contempt for the users of my software and a little bit of once off pain for me (like fiddling with click once deployments) is worth if it the product is better for 1000 people that use it everyday. It's simply a matter of what those variables are. A sick leave application form that get's used a few times a year? Stick that on the web, the installation cost isn't worth it. A productivity tool that's used all day, every day by a lot of people? Make that a desktop application, especially if you need local resources, like files. An application used by millions world wide everyday? Write that in a natively compiled language and use the native (or decent cross platform) UI, there's no reason your productivity is more important than the millions of users.
